[QUOTE="fbx89, post: 1952059, member: 395483"] I have finally bought a currrent (2024) iMac to replace my old 27". Now I need to blast the HD on the 27" so that nothing is recoverable therefrom. I understand this is a difficult proposition, so I thought I'd ask what is the simplest way to safely obliterate all info on that old hard drive so I can give the thing away. It won't boot right now but I assume I could install an operating system on the 27" and then delete everything. Is there an easier way? Happy to buy a disk that will boot and destroy if such exists. Many thanks in advance. Q [/QUOTE]
